Mouseover/URL spoofing triggers virus scanners
 

Lately I've been getting a lot of reports about Trojan virusses, mostly stuff like URL.Spoof Exploits and such. I couldn't find anything on these machines though. I found what it was...

Somehow McAffee detects the following notation of a URL as a URL Spoof Exploit: http://www.sapphicerotica.comhahahah...0000&PA=445213 (if this somehow doesn't make sense, check the notation of the banners on http://www.xfreehosting.com/hardcore...0456/sss34.htm)

It's the '@' between the first part of the URL and the read URL. The first part is made to look like a full URL, but it's send as a password. Somehow McAffee things this is spyware. I'm going to adjust my bot not to accept this anymore since I'm getting a lot of reports. If you want to hide the 'real' URL it might be a better idea to use a mouseover or something...

Oh, and of course, happy new year! ;-)

happy new year hun! :)

thanks for the heads up

seen many spoofs here..:glugglug

Happy new year :)


Atahualpa

Thanks for the heads up, Hun! Happy New Year!

So you have nothing against on mouseovers being used in galleries you list?

Why should I have something against a mouseover? As long as it's nothing to trick people in there (using a mouseover for a different domain, for instance, making it look as if people go to playboy.com) and there's no Javasc... included (Javasc... Over:window.location=''') I don't have a problem with it. Oh, for those thinking the javasc... thing is a good idea, my bot already takes care of these redirects ;-)

(very annoying that GFY replaces javasc with hahahahaha)

I think what he meant was 98% of tgps have a rule that SAYS no mouseovers and most live by that rule..

also some scripts wont let you submit with mouseover code.
I have not done any submiting for some time, but I am sure that is what it is...one bans it they all do.. type of rule..

Exactly. One of my requirements for hand submit clients is ABSOLUTELY NO j a v a s c r i p t. Makes life much simpler.

98%? Not even close to that. I used mousover pretty much last year and only very few did not accept it like pichunter.com for example

Thanx, we'll keep that in mind.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, The Hun!
